COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONWith the re-release of our Common beer, Argus Brewery offers a very unique American beer. This type of beer was brewed in the San Francisco Bay Area from the mid 1800′s to the mid 1900′s, A hybrid style, it uses a lager yeast but is fermented at warmer temperatures typical of ale. Copper colored and medium bodied, Argus Ironhorse has full malt & spicy herbal hop flavors, producing a very unique character unlike any ale or lager.

Poured from the bottle (from the freezer) of a six pack into a pint glass. Looks almost like a brown ale, smells good. I think the commercial description of medium bodied common sums it up pretty well. This beer has many medium qualities and is very easy drinking considering it’s 6.5%. I think a beer named after one of the best early Motorhead songs needs a stand out distinctive quality, not sure if that would be hops, alcohol, or whatever. Wouldn’t turn one down if it was handed to me though.

I bought this didn’t know anything about it I liked the Alc 6.5 % and it poured a nice head and left lots of lasing on the glass after drinking it.I wasn’t overwhelmed by the taste but its not bad ive had far worst I continue my quest for the perfect craft brew im still looking.

Tallahassee, Fl. - ABC Fine Wine & Spirits - Betton - 12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy medium copper with a sticky off-white head that leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma has a light fruity essence to it with hints of wort. Flavor has some nice toffee accents, a hint of caramel, some nuttiness and a citrusy back end. Mouthfeel has a nice textured crispness to it. Very enjoyable.

A copper body with a tan head. Aroma had a nice sweet caramel malt presence upfront. Notes of corn and some biscuit. A slight peppery note and a generic hop bitterness. Flavor was initially sweet, corn malts were more pronounced and the mix of hops and spicy peppery notes were nice. Thin body and easy to drink. A good beer but needed less corn in my opinion.
